Hi I'm Björn Ulvaeus.

I'm a songwriter, a producer, artist, and I'm a member of ABBA.

If you are like me then putting your creative work into the world is a core part of what makes you tick.

But what's hard to know is how to make a living from it and what rights you have as a creator.

Welcome to CLIP.

CLIP is here to help creators everywhere learn about their intellectual property or IP rights, including how to use and protect your work and how to make the most of the whole industry that's in place to help you become successful.

So what is intellectual property?

It refers to creations that come from the human mind.

And IP rights protect creators like you by giving you rights over your work.

When you get properly credited and paid for your role in creating a song, photo, or literary work for example, then that's thanks to intellectual property.

We're here to make it easy for you to understand.

We're going to drill down, keep it clear and simple, and make sure you're getting exactly the right information.

So explore, find your answers.

Learn them, know them, use them and get on with bringing your passion into the world.
